I deserved a better goodbye.

After staying up until

Four in the morning

With you every night,

Telling each other

Things we'd never even

Said aloud before,

I thought I might have

Had a chance.

 

All the laughs, 

The butterflies,

The memories,

And the happiness

I shared with you were

The best moments of my life.

 

You patched a piece of

My heart that I thought

I would never get back,

And yet,

I see you in her arms.

 

All the text messages

And goofy conversations

Stopped,

And you never even

Told me why.

And I swear to you,

I deserved a better goodbye.
